Emirates finalizes order for 150 777Xs

Emirates has finalized an order with Boeing for 150 B777Xs, valued at $56 billion at list prices. The order was first announced as a commitment at the 2013 Dubai Airshow.

The order, which is a combination of 115 777-9Xs and 35 777-8Xs, also includes purchase rights for an additional 50 aircraft that, if exercised, could increase the order value to approximately $75 billion at list prices. Delivery is expected to commence during 2020.

Emirates president Sir Tim Clark said: “With the order for 150 777Xs, Emirates now has 208 Boeing 777s pending delivery, creating and securing jobs across the supply chain. Today Emirates operates more than one in every 10 Boeing 777s aircraft built.”
